I’m back home tonight, after a day on the road with my wife and Scully. We left our accommodation Kangaroo Valley this morning, and drove to Bowral in steady rain. We had a nice lunch there, then headed back home, arriving around 5pm. Overall, since leaving home on Friday morning we’ve driven 438 km.
I’ve had time to process a few photos from the the trip, so here they are. First, Kiama Lighthouse:
The ocean pool at Kiama:
What I’m guessing is an unnamed intermittent waterfall (that only appears after heavy rain), spotted on the escarpment of Budderoo National Park, from our drive up Upper Kangaroo Valley:
The road that was flooded, cutting our progress up Upper Kangaroo Valley – you can see from the flood depth marker that the water is more than a metre deep over the road:
A view of some farming country in Upper Kangaroo Valley:
And a view from Cambewarra Lookout, over the Shoalhaven River and the towns of Bomaderry (this side of the river) and Nowra (far side):

I don’t suppose those are stromatolites in the foreground of the ocean pool?
No, definitely not. We don’t have stromatolites on the east coast (at least not that I’m aware of, anywhere). If they were, I doubt there’d be a swimming pool there.
Hey, Australia is all one big neighborhood, right? If something is in Australia then it can’t be more than a few hours’ drive from your house.
(Note: yes, I know that isn’t true.)
